From the publisher

A stirring look at nonviolent activism, from the fight for women's rights to the civil rights and climate change movements.

This inspiring 320-page book is a resource for exploration and learning for middle grade and YA readers. It includes endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.

We Are Power brings to light the incredible individuals who have used nonviolent activism to change the world. In an age when armies are stronger than ever before, when guns seem to be everywhere, how can people confront their adversaries without resorting to violence themselves?

Through key international movements as well as people such as Gandhi, Alice Paul, Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, and Vclav Havel, this book discusses the components of nonviolent resistance.

It answers the question "Why nonviolence?" by showing how nonviolent movements have succeeded again and again in a variety of ways, in all sorts of places, and in the face of overwhelming odds.

"Nonviolence may have been the greatest invention of the twentieth century, more important than nuclear fission or genetic coding. It offers us the chance to build a working twenty-first century, and since young people will have to lead that fight, this book is a crucial gift!" --Bill McKibben, climate activist and author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?
